Catherine Stainthorpe – Physiologist Team Leader (Nottingham)
Following my Sport and Exercise Science degree I spent a few
years working in a gym, but here realised that I wanted to develop
my knowledge around the wider aspects of health and general
wellbeing. Therefore, in 2006, I was successful in achieving a role
with Nuffield as a Health and Wellbeing Physiologist.
I have found it extremely interesting and challenging to work
with our clients and facilitate them in finding solutions to
improve their health. Although people often come to the health
assessment a little apprehensive, I have found it extremely
rewarding to help them feel at ease throughout the session,
allowing them to find it an interesting and enjoyable
experience.
As a company, I feel that Nuffield are striving to set the
standards in healthcare, especially in preventative health. The
Nottingham Fitness and Wellbeing Centre was the first fully
integrated site, with a purpose built medical clinic and fitness
facilities which have gained positive reviews from our clients who
have appreciated Nuffield's forward thinking approach. I have
enjoyed working within this integrated environment. Being part of a
team which includes a Doctor, Physiotherapist, Nutritional
Therapist and Fitness and Wellbeing Advisors has helped me to
continue to improve my knowledge.
I have recently changed roles to lead a new product, the 'Weight
Management Programme', which involves ongoing and regular contact
with clients to support their specific needs and enable them to
achieve their weight loss goals.
